Seville | Our New Information Pages

Leave a reply

We’ve been working hard to create some informative and interesting pages on our website about what to see and do in Seville. You can find descriptions of the different barrios (neighbourhoods) with maps, photos and videos, as well as things to do and where to eat. We have also included a section on the additional services we offer you at veoapartment.

We hope this will help you to enjoy your stay in Seville and would love to hear your feedback. Did you find them useful? Is there anything else you’d like us to add?

Seville | What’s Your Holiday Style?

Leave a reply

Luxury comes in all shapes, sizes, and especially styles. At veoapartment we’re not only always on the lookout for exceptional holiday apartments, the kind of places we’d like to stay at ourselves, we also aim to cater to every mood and personality.

Two apartments that are totally different in personality are the classic-modern Teodosio Terrace apartment, and the exuberantly bohemian Santa Paula Loft apartment. Both have all the modern appliances and conveniences that you could ask for in a holiday apartment, as well as plenty of light and space, but there the resemblance ends.

Teodosio is a duplex apartment built around an interior patio, with the space divided in the traditional way into bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen/dining room and living room. The overall decor is generally conservative and muted, but enlivened by some interesting artworks and splashes of colour.

Santa Paula, on the other hand, is a single open-plan space on the top floor a converted warehouse. The decoration is quirky and playful, with posters, pirate chests, and the sign from an old bar, as well as a psychedelic kitchen and graffiti in the bathroom. It’s even been used as a set for a TV programme.

So take your pick. Is your style urban professional or avant-garde artiste? Or any of a dozen others that we’ve found for you?

If you have a unique property and would like to work with us please get in touch.

Seville | 48 Hours in the City

3 Replies

We have another guest post this week, this time from former Londoner
and long-term Seville resident Peter Tatford, aka Seville Concierge

With an enticing combination of historical atmosphere, fine weather, local colour, and a growing reputation for good food and wine, Seville has become one of Europe’s top destinations for short break holidays. If you’re travelling with a family or as a group, or simply want more independence than a hotel gives you, renting a self-catering holiday apartment may well be a good option, and there are plenty to choose from in Seville.

The labyrinth of small narrow streets can make Seville a difficult city to find your way around, so you’ll need a good map. A thoughtful apartment owner should provide one, or you can get one from the main Tourism Office in the Plaza San Francisco, on the corner next to Bar Laredo. The staff there are very helpful and you can also use the computers. There is another office on the Avenida de la Constitución near the Puerta de Jerez.

Here is my quick guide to getting the best out of a two-night stay in Seville.

Granada | A Beginner’s Guide

This week we have a guest post by busy blogger and Granada resident Molly Sears-Piccavey.
This is her Beginner’s Guide to Granada

Most people have heard of Spain’s most visited monument, Granada´s Alhambra Palace, but beyond that often people don’t know much more about the area. I’ve lived in the city of Granada for more than 6 years now. When I first came here the cobbled streets and locals really fascinated me. Here are a few tips to enhance your experience when visiting Granada.

Seville | Day Trip to Ronda

Leave a reply

The little city of Ronda is one of Andalucia’s most underrated destinations, and although it’s not quite as easy to get to from Seville as Córdoba and Cádiz, taking about two hours each way on the bus, it’s well worth the extra effort, especially as the road winds through some beautiful mountain scenery.

For a small town (the population is only about 40,000), Ronda is full of surprises, and when you arrive you should head straight for the first of these – the spectacular Tajo Canyon that cuts the town in half, and the Puente Nuevo or New Bridge (it’s not so new now, as it was built in the second half of the 18th century). From the top of the bridge there is a breathtaking view across the Serranía de Ronda on one side, and an equally breathtaking view of the gorge on the other. The buildings that seem to perch on the very edge of the precipice make it look even deeper. It’s one of Spain’s most impressive and iconic sights, and it’s hard to describe the effect of seeing it for the first time.
